Just imagine if the "little people of flyover country" were allowed to express themselves as they saw fit.

They might decide to vote for Hitler, Putin, Trump, Poilievre or Attila the Hun.

They might even say something "against establishment forces"!

Heavens to Betsy!

The “War on Free Speech” is in full swing.

They’ve said it: “too much free speech!”

It is hard for me to believe so many people and institutions are fully embracing the concept of the dystopian world envisioned in book 1984.

And, they aren’t even subtle about it.

“Excessive free speech”

I can’t say I ever expected such a tyrannical phrase to ever be uttered.

Tells you how upset our masters are that we dare have unapproved communications.

> The way to reverse the trend is with rigid regulation, but the free speech lobby in the United States is as fierce as the gun lobby. <

The article is behind some sort of registration wall. Instead of registering, I’ll just ask: Is this satire?

And if it’s not satire, it’s fascism.

Wow. This guy is a full blown totalitarian. Imagine complaining about more power going to the “masses” instead of the self-selected few.

The Second Amendment didn’t get exercised when they took away the Second Amendment.
Will the Second Amendment be exercised when they take away the First Amendment?

Hang on to your hat, because they are giving illegal aliens gun, taking illegal aliens into the army, and before you know they may have illegal alien soldiers quartering at your house. That’s the Third Amendment. That would be next in line, don’t you think?

Come the worst it is possible to distribute sheets of information folded into little packets via stores like Home Depot and Lowe’s at say two or three packets per store visit.

A folded dollar might be placed inside some packets to help ensure the packets get taken home and read.

Wash your fingers before printing, folding and distributing.

Wear gloves when taping so as to not leave fingerprints.

On foggy days, the cellphone could be left at home and packets tossed on driveways while running.

Just like defamation, it ain’t nonsense if it’s true.

Conspiracy theorists are batting a 1000 so the rats and rinos should just STFU.

Lawrence Martin is the reporter who back in about 1974 dutifully reported kindly H Ballard’s comments about how his Toronto Maple Leaf players were garbage and Dave Keon was a weak captain. I guess “excessive free speech” wasn’t a concern of Martin’s at the time.

Does this turn into a satire at some point ? The author seems unhinged.

This is fascism, pure and unadulterated.

“Excessive free speech”.

"Excessive free speech" = " insufficient governmental control"

(In their minds.)

“Excessive” free speech? Is that like “excessive” freedom of movement? Or “excessive” freedom of religion?

“When other communications revolutions like the printing press, radio, and television came along, they were still largely controlled by the elites.”

Yes, and it was called fascism. The same leftists cry about ‘banned’ books that aren’t banned at all (no such thing here). Then call for free speech restrictions on sources they don’t like. How is that any different than banning a book?

The duplicity is astonishing...also lost on them - yet they believe they’re intellectually superior. So when people won’t go along with their ideas they must be forced to do so - for their ‘own wellbeing’.

For them, the end justifies the means, by any means necessary. They are evil. There’s no discussion to be had with them anymore.
